For your first question, the phenomenon that occurs when light strikes a window pane and changes direction is called:
**D. Refraction**
For your second question, the correct response regarding what happens to the rest of the light is:
**A. Some is absorbed and some is reflected.**
In general, when light encounters a material, some of it can be absorbed, some can be reflected, and depending on the material and angle, some can also be refracted.
**D. Refraction**
For your second question, the correct response regarding what happens to the rest of the light is:
**A. Some is absorbed and some is reflected.**
In general, when light encounters a material, some of it can be absorbed, some can be reflected, and depending on the material and angle, some can also be refracted.
